goals with Tender was to make signup completely optional. You
should be able to post private issues and view responses. So
instead of assigning discussions to a user ID, we assign a unique
cookie token for you. This token is also used in the searches so
that you see your own private issues on the homepage.</p>
<p>If you start seeing other people's private posts, then that is a
major problem.</p></div>ricktag:help.tenderapp.com,2008-11-12:Comment/288552009-01-02T01:49:07Z2009-06-20T20:13:39ZPrivate Topics May Be Showing to Public<div><p>Since this is unconventional I thought what I was seeing was a
bug, not a pretty cool feature. Very innovative -- thanks for
explaining it.</p></div>jbritten
